Movie Reviews of Goya's Ghosts
Movie Review: Creative story line with twists set in the Spanish Inquisition
Summary: 5 Stars
Movie is worth renting alone for being set in the Spanish Inquisition.
Movie begins its engaging twists early. The transformations of Bardem's character are intrigueing and Portman gives a worthwhile performance as well. Wide historical swath and deceptive title uses Goya as a passive sounding board for the bizarre events unfolding around him. Excellent paintings by Goya abound, a very underappreciated historical painter.
Movie Review: Implications on Torture
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely loved this movie. It is definititely not a feel-good, dance-in-the-park kind of movie, but rather one that makes you "think outside the box". It showed that the use of torture is not a good means to get the truth from prisoners. A particularly telling scene was when the young lady was being tortured and she asked what "the truth was" so she could repeat it and have the torture stopped.Movie Review: ¡Excelenté!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just saw this movie when a friend rented it and brought it over to watch. It is fantastic and really surprised us. The previous reviews tell you so much, so I won't go there. The reviewer Kathleen Fenessey has no idea what she is talking about. I highly recommend this movie. Also was nice to see a bit of history of Spain that is rarely ever mentioned or known about by Americans.Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this movie first and enjoyed it so much that I bought it. The actors are terrific and I am proud of Natalie Portman's excellent portrayal. She has come a long way in her artistic talents from her role in the Star Wars movies.Movie Review: Superb and timely
Summary: 5 Stars
This finely crafted film depicts events without sentimentality, much like the paintings of Goya. The performances are brilliant, as is the cinematography.
The relevance to the present is implicit, clear without preaching.
